Claims will only be paid where they relate to expenditure incurred wholly, exclusively and necessarily in the performance of an MP’s parliamentary functions.

For reference, section 40(2) provides that personal information about third parties is exempt information if disclosure would breach the fair processing principle (Principle 1) of the Data Protection Act (DPA), where it would be unfair to those persons or is confidential.
